Hailing from South-East England, Matt Pound & Lt.Leek are a six piece alt.country group. Lyrically bittersweet and melodically pure, the songs embrace both British and American Folk traditions in an understated and reserved fashion. Born out of times between jobs and women and places, Pound’s intensely personal song-writing focuses on the ups and downs of modern lives and loves. Emerging from a duo, the group has slowly been crafting a new sound from old notes.

Hailing from Kent’s Tunbridge Wells & Maidstone, The Gallerys exploded onto the UK music circuit in 2017 with their unique blend of 60s rock, Britpop and indie sounds which gained them immediate attention from BBC Introducing, Fred Perry Subculture & This Feeling.
With over 200 gigs under their belt, they're a seasoned & in-demand live act. With shredding guitar solos, melodic harmonies, cutting bass lines and hard-hitting drum beats, their fierce live shows leave audiences wanting more & more.
Having shared the stage with Louis Berry, Madness, The Sherlocks, Scouting For Girls, The Blinders, The King Blues, The Skints, Dr. Feelgood, Space, Alan McGee and embarking on UK tours with both The Rifles and The Bluetones, and going on a headline UK tour of their own, they are no stranger to huge crowds and quickly sell out their headline shows.
'One of the most promising bands in the country' - Even The Stars
'Their contemporary guitar-driven indie pop is given a '60s vibe thanks to the band's three-piece harmonies that echo iconic British songs from the era' - Fred Perry Subculture
'Vocally, this band are on top of their game, expertly layering delicious harmonies to fill out their retro-pop sound'
